Some Caveats and explanations: - This book is now 12 years old. There are lots of things in it that are amusingly dated, even laughable. One example: the absurd emphasis on Java Applets. They died an unlamented death due to bloating a long time ago, but at the time I wrote the book, they were a hot technology. - The formatting is not exactly as it first appeared in the book, and some of it is downright awkward. Sorry! The publisher converted the original files to Word for me, perhaps they forgot to select the "high-def" option. - The Java package described in the book (lotus.notes) was superseded by lotus.domino in R5 (1999? I think). The methods are all mostly the same. Of course, IBM have added lots more classes and methods than existed when the book was written. Also, the "recycle()" method had not yet been invented in Domino 4.6, so the memory issues that call addresses are not really covered. - The figures (screen shots and so on) referred to did not make it into any file format I can deal with, so I had to leave them out. Sorry! The code samples are mostly there, and I'll also post all of the files that were on the CD that came with the original book.
This Installment This hunk is a zip file containing the contents of the CD that was included with the original book. Appendix F (previously posted) contains a description of the contents of the CD: Appendix F.pdf
I have not gone back and checked that the samples still work. If you find that any do not, please let me know. The JavaDoc, of course, corresponds to the Notes v4.0 release. "NOI" has come a long way since then, and the whole lotus.notes package was pretty much obsoleted in Notes v5, but they may still be distributing it.
"Reflections on Reflecting Light" - Java program
Wed, May 9th 2012 6:10p Bob Balaban Greetings Geeks! Today it is my very great pleasure to introduce to you a new guest blogger: my son David. He has graciously allowed me to prevail upon him to write about his recent science fair project, titled "Reflections on Reflecteing Light". That may sound innocuous, but to quote one of my favorite movies, "That's no ordinary rabbit!". David took this project through our local high school's science fair, was invited to the regional fair, and then to the Massachusetts state science [read] Keywords: blogger

Happy 5th? Yeah, 5th
Tue, Apr 10th 2012 8:40p Bob Balaban Greetings Geeks! So. March 30, 2007 was my first blog entry. Evidently I missed my own 5th Blanniversary! :-( Better late than never, I suppose. In theory, anyway :-) I know I don't post here often, but I do hope that when I do post, it's worth reading. For some people, anyway. I'll quote from a nice person who commented on that first post: "energetic,funny,cute--that's what I feel about you from your special explanation about "In Theory".I think you must be very content while wr [read] Keywords: lotus

Anyone interested in me posting my 1998 book?
Sat, Oct 29th 2011 8:50a Bob Balaban Greetings, Geeks! In 1998 I published a book titled "Programming Domino 4.6 With Java" (see the Amazon page here). It did fairly well, but of course it's a bit dated now, and it went out of print in 2000. While you can apparently get a used copy for $0.59 (plus shipping), I was thinking I might post the PDF version of the whole thing here on my blog (the rights to the book reverted to me when the publisher declared it out of print, so it's legal). There are bugs in there, which I suppo [read] Keywords: domino
